This 1966 Chevy C10 was purchased from the second owner in 2018. My plan was to redo the truck and make it my daily driver. We have done a lot of work on this truck. Most of the bolts and never been turned since the day it was built. We have replaced, the front end, braking system, relocated the gas tank to bed of truck, radiator, hurst three speed shifter, new shocks, rust remediation on the cab has been completed, some Bondo present on passenger door and the fleet side of the bed of the truck, I am not sure how much body filler is present. The drivers door has been reskinned and repainted to match the truck.
We have dubbed this truck Tina Patina. There's just about every color in the rainbow on this one. It would take a bit of work to get the surface rust down and seal up the lovely patina. This truck looks great wet, it really brings out the colors. There is body filler present in the body of the truck, please refer to photos. There is a dealer bumper present with the old dealers name, which is pretty cool.
The interior of the cab has had all the rust removed from the usual spots that rust on these work trucks. The floor pan has been completely replaced as well as the cab corners and bottom door sils. The cab is now sealed from the elements with a new front and rear windscreen seals. The interior paint seems to be silver?? The interior has its own patina as well. The bench seat has been recovered in blue and white vinyl. We added shoulder and lap belts, as well as moved the shifter to the floor and added a new rubberized floor mat.
The engine is not in great shape, my plan was to run it until it died and then do an LS swap. The engine and trans are ready for swap. The was running strong 6 months ago but has not been started since then.
The truck has been registered as an Antique Vehicle in the state of Texas with a clean title and insured through Hagerty.
Please message if you have more questions, I have a ton of photos of the work done in progress. If you are in the Austin area we can setup a meet.
